March Twenty-Ninth 2015’s Episode

Okay, quick summary of my life: I was very busy on the day this episode aired so I missed some of this episode, even though it is airing at a 17 minute delay. Congrats to whoever won that basketball game that ran 17 minutes long. It was part of the NCAA tournament. Anyways, to the episode.

Let’s do a quick sum-up of what happened at the beginning. A creepy old guy doesn’t like Alicia anymore although he helped get her elected. People are stealing movies from the internet with the help of friendly costumer service. That badass cool black guy doesn’t like the area and wants to leave. This could be how they get rid of Kalinda, provided that there is a next season of this show. If there is, it’s already revealed that Kalinda will be leaving. If there isn’t, then everyone has to find new work. This might be the lowest rated of the bubble shows. But, of the four bubble shows on this network, it seems likely that only one will get cancelled. Plus, conspiracy theorists demand that this be on during the upcoming election year next TV season.

The third act has more things falling apart for the people in question at Alicia’s firm. All hell broke loose after Alicia got elected state’s attorney. People are at each other’s throats, sometimes literally. There are also serious problems with emails.

The fourth act has more wondering about emails that are missing. Geez, people think that Elizabeth McCord is like Hilary Clinton but Alicia Florrick seems more worthy of that title. Is it a coincidence that this is so similar to the Hilary Clinton email nontroversy? I mean, that was pretty recent to the news. We then get back to Kalinda doing what she does best: solving the case at the last minute. While I have mixed feelings to the character in general (she’s always doing weird things, it seems), I do wonder how they would solve cases at the last minute without Kalinda. Maybe they’d have to be better at the whole things. The episode ends and I missed a lot of this confusing show. Oh well. I guess this will just be a terrible blog post that I have this time.

On the next Good Wife, the hacked emails of Alicia’s wind up causing her a bunch of trouble. What else would it do? You do have to wonder how they’d treat affairs of hers compared to that of her husband. How is it different in real life? I don’t know because it seems that only men get caught having affairs. But is that a fair assessment? I don’t know. Anyways, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

March Twenty-Second 2015’s Episode

I should have had this recorded on VHS. But it wound up on my laptop instead. I’ve decided that it will be with the regularly scheduled blog posts instead of the later VHS episodes. You’ll notice old VHS episodes posted a lot later than some other episodes. I never know when to update any of these blogs of mine, unless they are about Survivor. That one always has a clear time to update. Also, I still don’t know if I’ll create a blog about Battle Creek or not. That show is doing much worse in the ratings than this show is. This show is always on the bubble but has not yet been canceled. I have the feeling that another network would be likely to pick up this show if CBS cancelled it. But I’ve been wrong before and know with absolute certainty that I will continue to be wrong about other things from time to time. I just hope that it moves to another show on network television as I would not be able to watch this show on a network that I’d have to pay to watch. Don’t expect a bubble show to stay around forever. Just be grateful for whenever it does. Anyways, the rest of CBS midseason besides Battle Creek is actually doing quite well. Plus, you may notice a scheduling gap on Thursdays that they have. They could fill it with something, or it could stay until after May. I’m nerdy about television, so sorry if that ever comes out sometimes.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 35 minute delay. I’m surprised that it wasn’t accounted for in the epg because I know that March Madness would more than likely delay the start of the game. Guess that it wasn’t the same rule as football doubleheaders have. Sorry to anyone who missed the last 35 minutes of the show. DVR can always cause problems on Sundays on CBS. But you either already knew that or it doesn’t actually matter to you. We begin on Election Day. Alicia Florick prepares to vote. Diane Lockhart is stuck at some Republican event with her husband. People are concerned that Peter talking about how his wife has the election in the bag means that people won’t actually vote. She also has an acceptance speech written already, but not a concession speech. Honestly, if I ever ran for office, which I probably wouldn’t, I’d write both speeches before the election.

The second act has Alicia playing Halo with someone from her staff. I’ve never actually played Halo, although I don’t really like shooter games that much. Alicia is convinced that her husband doesn’t want her to win the election. Kalinda has problems of her own escorting that kid to school. I forget why she is doing this. Was that ever really explained? The problem might have been resolved, but it seems to create its own set of problems. Meanwhile, people are wondering how to best handle the election at hand. To me, they normally seem worried about things that aren’t important. Well, maybe they are important in some way. But how? Also, does it concern anyone that the Halo microphones might have picked up the plans regarding robo calls?

The third act has Diane having a discussion regarding abortion. I do not support abortion, but I don’t like the fact that supports of abortions are labeled as baby killers. I mean, they only support the idea, right? They aren’t actually performing them or getting them, are they? Maybe it’s just a way of supporting my own political beliefs. There are things that one side gets right that the same side gets wrong about other things. Why is a fetus not considered human life? The only thing that can create human life is that of a fetus. Maybe it is just poorly defined what life is. Anyways, there’s more serious threats regarding the election and whether or not Alicia can win it.

The fourth act has Diane unable to eat something that she herself killed. Alicia continues to play Halo a lot. They must have a good product placement deal with them. Or they want us to show a different side of Alicia. Peter makes an unannounced speech that affects traffic in the area, preventing a lot of people from getting to the polls. The election is soon over and they’ll tell us who won after a commercial break. Of course, that’s where a real commercial break is put.

The fifth act tells us basically that Alicia won the election. Her campaign manager doesn’t really know what to do about his potential job in California (and his feelings for Alicia). Alicia wants her opponent in the election to work for her, probably just to keep him out of the way of any other political things that he could do.

On the next Good Wife, clients at Alicia’s firm get upset about her election, it seems. Considering how the editors frequently mislead us in their ads, then I don’t know what to make of things as usual. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
